Around 75% LESS DINOS?

[Nooblets]

On Private, I spent hours flying around the whole map yesterday, and I could barely find any dinos. (I've not changed any dinos settings)
As I was flying, I thought "ok there not even half the dinos as ASE, its more like 75% are gone"
There at always loads of those small thief birds on the river that that it.
Anyone else getting this?

NOTICE: The best 2 places I've found groups of dinos are..Carnos Island and the river in the bottoms right.

Also..... i started my farm and got my Poopasaurus (Phiomia), i noticed the amounts of poop ejected from it when you force feed it stimberries is significantly less. Anyone else notice this by chance ?

I thought the same thing. Something else I seemed to notice, not sure if it's accurate or not, but there seemed to be almost no herbivores when it's night time. Then as I was flying around with daylight breaking they seemed to start spawning back in more as it became daytime. Wondering if this is a new mechanic or I'm just reaching.

Did you try the -preventhibernation startup command? Just remembered to try that. Can't hurt a try.

I set mine to 2 and i cant go 10 feet on foot without getting bullied

Hey Steve, on our unofficial we noticed the same on that western shore. But that main river that runs through with all the spinos, thers tons of dinos. Rex, Spino, Carno, etc. Tons of argys around the mountains.

I've noticed there seems to be a respawning issue with dinos. On Carno island, nothing respawns but in the river near hidden lake, dinos respawn quickly. Snow biome seems very mostly devoid of anything sometimes. In ASE there'd be like 25 penguins on the shore where the 2 snow mountains meet, now i see maybe 2-3 scattered very far.

I run a dedicated server so definitely not a singleplayer issue like ASE used to have. I assume this is likely to stabilize servers and prevent overspawning and RAM usage. Could also be a bug, who knows.

searching the whole mountain for 1 archentavis on non-dedicated with some friends. Yes... there are indeed 80% less dino's in game if you travel. if you are living in 1 place you do see more dino's but then you need to be there static for more then 3 in game day's. and we did not even saw a single dino on the mountain only dimorpidons. those little flying shoulder pets.

but i'm very happy that easy spawn does not have that much pretotors anymore! it feels like a more easy spawn location to start and learn the game.
i remember the time that a t-rex on the easy beach killed us over and over in the old day's.

that's gonna use up a ton of memory so you shouldn't even try this without 32gb of ram

may be loading in slower. in singleplayer they go into stasis when you're not in render range, that's why a lot of ASE mods wanted you to use -preventhibernation but doing that eats up a lot of RAM and on a server it's not a thing anyway. i started in the west on the peninsula and have flown around and i'm finding overall less but it's an amount that to me seems realistic. there were too many in ASE at times and a lot of those were overspawns. you'd start with 25,000 dinos in ASE on the island and in 50 hours you'd have 30,000 and that was mostly a difference because of overspawns

just realized this is nooblets, dude just wants to cry right now anyway, had to stop youtube from recommending him

Retracing my steps helped some areas but not all.

[Neol]

Yeah, I've been playing for 3 hours and I've seen about ~15 dinos.

I'm thinking there are problems with some spawners right now. the server I am hosting using a VPS is constantly showing stuff like this:

So, apparently the issue of no respawning dinos is caused due to spawn volumes not being able to repopulate then disabling the spawner. Makes sense in some sense.

If you have a dedicated server, you can check the logs and see what's going on.

Is this also causing tames to disappear? Didn't seem to happen until the last update or so.

In SP I get an error saying I reached dino limit or sth. Seems like it just fails to spawn. I hope that gets fixed soon.
